Dear Editor,

I am a US Citizen and in March of 2001 my husband and I sent the papers into INS for his Authorization of Employment and his Permanent Residence. In July of 2001 we received a Letter of Denial due to a prior deportation he had from 1997. In August of 2001 we got a lawyer so that she could reapply for the Employment of Authorization which was approved in November of 2001 and my husband received. in July of 2002 we received a Letter of Approval for the Petition for Residency. On November 19, 2002 my husband and I went into the INS to renew his Authorization of Employment, which had not expired yet, and was detained to be deported right there and then. The director advised us that my husband had no rights to a lawyer, a hearing, a bond or any other option. The director of the INS advised me that they had made a mistake and that he should have never have had received his Employment of Authorization Card. I asked him why that was and he said that because he had a prior deportation. The director advised me that INS had sent us a Letter of Denial because of his prior deportation he had in 1997. I told him that we did receive that letter and that was why we got a lawyer to take our case and reapply for the Employment of Authorization Card. Our lawyer could not do anything for his case. My husband went to the Consulate in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico and they advised him that they did not know why they had deported him and sent him there is all the paper work was processed here in the United States.

My husband is now in Mexico and I am 7 months pregnant and don't know what to do now. He was the sole provider of our household and I have no family support. Who, how and where do I go to now? This whole situation has caused me a tremendous amount of stress and that is not good at all in my conditions. Don't I have a right as a US Citizen to have my husband here with me? Please give me advise on what I can do regarding our situation.
